Poor you! Thats miserable! No chance of you being pregnant? Sure you've considered that one though... Go to docs and get hormone levels checked? Is it more painful that usual? Fibroids, endometriosis? How many periods have you had since DD2?

i went through a period (excuse the pun) of having very long periods with what looked like large lumps of liver in them (in lieu of vomit emoticon). I went to my GP and they asked me to provide a sample of this liver-like tissue, turned out to be clots, scared the Jesus out of me though, thought my womb was falling out !

There was no sign of infection or missed miscarriage or anything, I was just told that my body was probably just having a 'thorough spring clean', almost like it hadn't really cleared everything through in previous periods and there had been a build up. Yuck, I know.

me too, very undignified and sooo messy, but if it is an infection tampons are unlikely to help things. I found tampons were no good anyway as the clots were so big (sort of chicken goujon size) that they interfered with the absorbency anyway

I had a 3 month period once after coming off the depo injection. like you described lots of clotting. Had an internal examination etc at the docs, they gave me some iron supplements and said it would help the aches and tiredness. It worked but god did i feel awful!!

NP, you know as well as I do that thats not right. You've only just gone back to work, you must be knackered, loosing all that blood as well. You might become aneamic. You really should go to GPs to get checked out now, you have been bleeding for far too long. x
